FoREPAUGH's Circus is to perform
here on the very day appointed for
the Stock show. The Circus agent
committed '.faur pas" in fixing on
that day for a performance. The
time should be changed for either
one or the other, for they would
most materially interfere if they
should happen to come into conflict
with each other by holding forth on
the same day. Our experience and
observation have taught us that not
even court can compete successfully
with circus, and it is impracticable
to run both on thesam day. Wehope
some change may be made in the
arrangements so as to prevent such
an awkward coHtretemps.

Superstitions of Sailors.

There is no class of the population
more superstitious, perhaps, than
sailors are. 1t is not dificnlt to under
stand this, isolated and alone in a vast
world Of air aud water, surrounded by
strange sights and mysterious powers,
Of which even science gives but imper-
feet knowledge, their minds and i'm
a~ginations are worked upon by a con-
stantsuccession of miracles, engendering
awe or exciting terror, with vague ideas
Of things strongly suggested although
quite unknown. Ancient authors,
writing of times when navigation was
. infancy and every great power in
e was fully individualized as a
Of defied man, are full of wonders
an,- mysteries, and people Of the world
Of air and water with all kinds OF
imaginary beings and monsters good or
evil.
Sunshine indicated the glorifed
presence Of Apollo, darkness was the
attribute of angry vengeful demons,
and as they were hopeful and gay, full
of courage and daring in the one, in the
other vague terrors haunted them, CIV
ing horrible significance to the most
harmless indications Of changeful
weather. The ghostly Dutchman's
phantom ship, or demon frigate, fore
told storm and darkness; lightning
playing upon the mast, spars and
3ordage gave signs of danger or safety
according to the forms it assumed;
whistling would, it was believed, excite
the anger of the storm demons; and
among French sailors it was once a COM
mon custom to fasten some unfucky
midshipman to the mast and fog him
to please the spirits of the tempest and
keep them good-natured.
But ghost-haunted ships were of all
things those which the sailor regarded
with most terror, and it is not many
years since that an account was pub
lisbed Of some sailors who refused to
serve On board a British man-of-war,
because, as they said, there was a ghost
aboard. When pressed to give a reason
for their belief they said they smelled
himl One night, however, in a state
of genuine terror, they said they had
not only smelled but seen the ghost
aye, and heard it, too, behind some
beer barrels; and they would rather
swim than remain aboard. The Cap
tain, however, ordered them to be put
in irons until they were we'll out at sea
and then flogged. After that he heard
nothing more of the ghost.
Ships thus haunted were not only
doomed to perish, in the belief of sail
ors. but the very presence brought dan
ger to all who looked upon them. The
decayed hulls of vessels reputed to be
haunted would drive the fisher folk on
some Of the Scotch and Irish coasts
from the most promising bays, and no
one would venture to even battle near
them, such wild unreasonable terror
did they provoke.

Tho success of "our own" buffalo
Bill-W. F. Cody-in England Is very
gratifying to his thousands Of admirers
on this side.
There was more truth than many
imagined in his reply to the inquiry:
"What are you doing in England?"
Chiefly playing poker with Ouch
esses."
The English nobility quickly SCOT
toned t0v Buffalo Bill because they
recognized that he belonged to a higher
order than their own-Nature's no
bility. Despite his wild life he eagerly
managed to acquire an education and
the polish which makes him easy even
In royal society.
His polish IL the bitter fruit, 1t Is
said. of a yomng love experience,
When a young man on the plains,
Wild, woolly and unkempt in appear
ance and character, he fell In love
with a dashing little school teacher.
Fnll Of pluck and faith IN himself, he
proposed to her. She laughed at him
and he-collapsed.
After q time he braced up. bought
some books, and began to study.
His defeat proved his victory. The
girl was his mascot, and his successes
are due to her.
Magnificent specimens Of manhood
though they be "BllI's boys" are not

clan, who only afforded temporary
relief. A friend induced me to take

almost instant relief, and after taking
three bottles, l find my self In as good
health as ut any time in my life."
Two other members Of the Wild
West show, NAIVE Beardsfey, pony
express rider, and jim Mitchell. a
cowboy, add to this statement Of Shoe
makers, that in their long experience

Buffalo Bill has pluck and courage
and hard sense. and not only controls
all the wild elements that make up the
Wild West show, but controls himself.
HIS experience as a scout makes him
wary, discreet and shrewd He
quickly learns the best way to secure
results, and, like a true man, has no
prejudices against anything that proves
Its merits.
